I haven't kept up with the latest "protest restrictions." Also, who knows but some pitons were set, or larger anchors, which would turn into vandalism of federal property or some such.

First Amendment protections for protesters ain't what they used to be. And Trump has been stuffing judges into robes as fast as he's been able to, despite Biden's admirable progress.

For instance, a trans pride flag might be recast as who knows, terrorism, or pornography.

So...we'll see.
